Trip to the Glacier 🚗

#outdooradventures My trip to Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon in Iceland was absolutely surreal! 🌊 Located about 5 hours from Reykjavík, it’s a journey through otherworldly landscapes before you arrive at this incredible glacier lake. There’s no entrance fee, and you can park right next to the lagoon. Watching the massive icebergs drift lazily on the water with the Vatnajökull Glacier in the background felt like something out of a dream. The ice has this dazzling blue color, especially when the sun hits it just right! I highly recommend taking a boat tour, which gets you up close to the icebergs and seals swimming nearby! 🛶 It costs around €40-50, but totally worth it to experience the glacier’s majesty up close. Just standing there, watching these ancient chunks of ice float by, you feel the power and beauty of nature. I also visited Diamond Beach, right across the road, where smaller icebergs wash up on the black sand. The contrast between the ice and sand is stunning! 💎 Nearby attractions include Skaftafell National Park, perfect for hiking lovers, and Svartifoss Waterfall, which has those iconic basalt columns. If you're looking for a magical and unique experience in Iceland, Jökulsárlón is a must-see! #trip #iceland #Jokulsarlon #glacierlagoon #diamondbeach #naturelovers #jökulsárlón

The famous glacier lagoon in Iceland was beautiful, just after a storm had passed. Large pieces of ice everywhere

We spent half of the day here, watching seals fishing between big pieces of ice floating! We were dying to visit this place, a dream came true.
